From School Library Journal
YA-Using a question-and-answer format, a former Peace Corps volunteer
addresses the concerns teenagers and parents might harbor about this
important decision.
From packing tips and living among the locals to
medical services and staying in touch with home, there are practical
comments and stories of actual experiences from volunteers, plus
statements of Peace Corps policy for guidance.
Eleven appendixes offer
facts about and maps of Peace Corps projects, descriptions of programs and
requirements, and lists of alternative organizations.
"How to Become a
Competitive Candidate" will be useful to teens because it suggests
volunteer and extracurricular activities that will enhance their future
